PRESS COMMENTS.

Chicago NeseC ANY movement made
in this country to restrain the spread
Of Sociallsic ideas and beliefs must be
made in the direction Of vigorous
check upon the various monopolies that
are multiplying with such frightful ra-
pidity in the United States. Almost
everything, from -four to wall paper, is
managed by trust or syndicate for the
purpose Of limiting the supply and main
tanning the price, 10 the exclusion OF all
fair and honest competition in business.
1t is this insatiate greed that is the foster
mother of Socialism and Anarchism, and
the former cannot exist without produc-
ing the latter as a legitimate result
BGltimore american. 1t is quite appar-
emit that the enterprise which dragged
the company down was its telegraph
system. Before this system was pushed
the road prospered in every direction.
Since then its financial condition has
gradually become worse, and the large
expenses of the new Philadelphia road
did not mend the situation. The pres
ent effect of the contract Is to keep the
B. & o. down to its present termini.
The most radical change is the dethrone-
ment of President Garrett.
Philadelphia Times: A sound mind in
healthy body should be the end and
aim ofall educational processes as ap.
piled to the human student, and teach.
ers and school officials should especially
bear this in mind as the children come
trooping back from country and seaside
to submit to the confinement and re-
straints of the school-room for the com,
ing school year. The lessons should be
ljudiciously mingled with play during al
the months in which the school house
doors shall remain open.
Senator Ingalls,; The insurmountabl'
. obstacle to the Sixteenth Amendment
will be found, not in the hostility o
men, but IN the Indifference and aver
J sion of women. There is not State
county or township in the United State
; in which the proposition, if submitted
, to the decision of the wives, mother
and daughters resident therein, woul,
= not be rejected by an unmistakabie ma
) jority.
Indianapolis Journal: We think it ma
be confidently asserted that the presen
divorce law of Indiana compares favors
= hlu with thof IF moot IF tho Nfhar States
and that the average number of divorce
granted in this State in proportion t
4 population does not exceed that whIc
r rules elsewhere. The stigma that ono
attached to Indiana in this regard n
D longer exists.

IT Is the same old story with regard to
the holocaust at the Exeter theater-the
exits were poor. That men will not
learn by experience is true the world
over. In this country the lack of offic-
ial inspection ofpublic buildings often
causes much censure, but the occurrence
Of such horrors as this latest in England
where the system of inspection is sup.
posed TO be very rigid and complete,
serves as an illustration of the fact that
accidents viii happen, etc. Neverthe-
less, 1t is time that the cities Of this
country took hold of the matter of pro-
viding an intelligent supervision Of pub.
Lie buildings, conveysnces, and other
places in which the lives of innocent
persons are subjected to the possible
carelessness Of biundenng employees OF
to unforeseen contingencies.

The High School to Have but One
Session Daily Hereafter.

The regular session Of the1 School
Board was held last night and consider
able routine business transacted. Among
other things it was decided to have but
one session day in the High School
hereafter. School viii begin at $50 q.
m. and close at 1:30 D. M, thus very
nearly following the plan which has
been in vogue at the Normal school for
several years. This arrangement is per-
fectly satisfactory 10 the students, as re.
cent votes indicated an almost unani-
nous desire for the change. The new
plan will allow the students to devote
the afternoons to their lessons. The
change is made only on trial, but will be
permanent If 1t proves satisfactory. II
will go into effect Monday.
1t vas decided to open two new
schools, one in the West Mankato build
ing and the other in the frame structur.
on the High School grounds. Misses
Cora Noble, of this city, and Ella Stowe
of Waterville, were elected teachers /,
fill these positions.
A number of bills were allowed, in
Guiding installments on the recent i'm
proyements and new heating and VENT
lating apparatus.
Prof. Bechdoit informs us that Their
are already enrolled in the High Schoc
more than were enrolled during til
whole of last year, while there is an in
crease in nearly all grades of the publ
schools. The improvements in tn
buildings are practically completed.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept. Manchester
has developed a miniature reproduction
of the London scandal, exposed by the
Pail Mall Gazette. The persons impli-
Gated embrace some well known busi-
ness and professional men and four
young girls, whose ages range from elev-
en- to sixteen years. The exposure came
about through the confession of one the
girls. 1t is probable that civil or crimi-
nal suits may be commenced to-day.

Of no earthly consequence, that he is a
smaIl-bore politician, little breeches'
little Benny" "small demagogue
and ranter," ETC., and that there is no
use paving any attention to him what

dismissed him finally and forever as not
worthy Of further confederation one day,
they take much valuable space the next
day to say the same thing. There can

Democratic and Mugwump ridicule and
abuse are balm to the soul of the good
Republican, and in that abuse Foraker
